of President Donald Trump's tariff war.
A Labor Department report showed nonfarm payrolls increased
139,000 in May, compared with estimates for a rise of 130,000,
according to economists polled by Reuters.
The unemployment rate stood at 4.2%, in-line with a forecast
of 4.2%.

or 0.57%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 36.25 points, or
0.63%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 142.75 points, or
